Seniors, the class the teachers dreaded the most, went through their final school year saying good-bye to their favorite high school activities and attending their last Junior Senior Prom. Juniors waited for their turn in the senior positions and enjoyed such things as playing their first varsity game. Sophomores were caught in the middle of all the excitement. They saw the seniors counting down the days till they graduated, and the freshmen’s excitement to join high school activities. Freshmen became some teach- ers’ favorite class, as many were more eager to learn and afraid to object to what the teachers said. And last, but not least, the teachers, staff, and administra- tion were there every day contri- buting in their roles, and like ev- eryone else, waiting around for the school year to be over and the summer to begin! SENIOR ACTIVITY LIST Senior Class Of 1985 Says Goodbye To BHS The senior year is every freshman’s dream. It’s a time of respect, a time of joy, and sadness. It’s when students try to pack all the good times into one final year before they say goodbye to the people that started to travel the path of success with them at the first day of kindergarten. The senior year is when school becomes a nuisance, and a strange tropical disease called senioritis strikes unweary students around third quarter. Thus begins senior pranks, and different actions against authority: number one being to beat the system. Around fourth quarter time begins to fly. Plans for college are being made, graduation is just around the corner, and the juniors are already opening the doors to rid of the pesty seniors. It’s been twelve long years that we all wish we could have back, or at least to that quiet freshman year when we had no cares. So a word to the wise, but especially to the freshmen: “Don’t rush those last four years, no matter how much you wish to be a senior; it all comes too soon. Hold on to your teenage years; they will never come again.” KEY: A.I.A.-Athletic Interest Associaton; B-Club; B.B. Basketball; B. St.-Boy's State; P. Band-Pep Band; Stg.

In the time we knew Tracy from the second grade to her senior year she grew from freckle faced child to the person we knew and loved. In an accident that took her life, Tracy left us on March 9, 1985. Although not everyone knew Tracy, alias: Trixx,” Trickster,” and “Trace,” all were able to feel her presence whenever she was near. Her smile could fill the room with a ray of sunshine and her sense of humor could put anyone at ease The loss which the class of 1985 felt somehow brought us closer together. Now that Tracy has left us to wander a new pasture, wherever she is and whomever she meets will be enchanted with the same warm personality that made her so special to us. Even though she is dearly missed, somewhere she is very much alive, watching over our class, her family, and friends. Wherever you are, Tracy, we want to tell you how much you are loved, and that a part of you still lives on in each and every one of us you touched with the gift of your friendship. We will always cherish those great times we spent together laughing and talking of dreams to come. God bless you, Tracy. We wish to extend our deepest sympathies to those hurt by the loss of Tracy. Always remember, though, instead of giving up. push yourself that extra mile, if not for yourself, for Tracy.

LAURIE CARTER tries to play the drums, while looking straight into the camera Juniors Make Headline News With A Great Year Reflecting on the year of 1982 and 1983, the juniors were the underdogs as freshmen, in big old BHS, singing “Loyalty,” being harrassed by upper classmen, and strug- gling through those difficult class hours, the freshman year seemed somewhat long. Finally, things began picking up, as the class of '86 moved into their sophomore year. The year brought many personal triumphs but some class defeats, such as in float contests. Moving closer to superiority, the class of '86 took on the role of juniors. To start the year off, the class elected the officers for the ' year: Rick Tormohlen-president, Stephanie Griffith-vice- president, and Bruce Bass-secretary treasurer. The junior class had many activities to prepare for throughout the year; so, Mr. Worthley, Mr. McGee, Mr. Mussel), Mr. Craft, Mr. Giauque, Mrs. Mesch and Mr. Bever were appointed as sponsors to help with these activities. Throughout most of the year concessions and other money-making activities were held to raise money for the Junior-Senior Prom in April. October brought the first major project to the class, with homecoming. Throughout homecoming week the class participated in several noon time events, placing 3rd in the overall contest events, but came out on top by placing 1st in float decorating. As the new year began the juniors started preparing for one of their most memorable evenings in their high school years.

The class consisted of 122 students with 14 of them new to BHS. The class sponsers were Miss Bitzer and Mr. Edson. Leading the class was Mike Wahlert - president, Bridget Lee • vice president, and Pat Giauque ■ secretary- treasurer. The only money making projects the class held were one cake raffle and a concession. During homecoming week the sophomores placed sec- ond in the noontime activities. They also placed fourth in the float-decorating contest. A student s sophomore year has its ups and downs. There is driver’s ed., a class in which all are excited to get their drivers’ licenses. The highlight of the year is when class rings finally arrive. Then there is biology, one of the hardest classes a sophomore can take.

There were many changes this year. Tom Woolley, Ken McReyn- olds, Phyllis Woodward, Karen Harrington and Linda Pres- ton leaving made room for newcomers like Amy Ely, Chris Craft, Sharon Johnson, and Colleen Sullivan. The real change was in the math department. The retirement of Larry Giauque occurred at semester, but Ann Severin a CSU gra- duate quickly filled his place. Another change, in the Administration, was losing John Gotto and winning Martin Foster, as assistant principal. Mr. Gotto became Junior High Principal. Custodian Ken Rieb was also transferred to another build- ing in the district during second semester.

Mr. Martin Foster is the new assistant principal, replac- ing Mr. John Gotto, who went to the Brush Junior High as principal. The 1984-85 School Board along with Mr. Bill Weather- ill, Superintendent, and Dr. Ronald Van Donselaar, Assis- tant Superintendent, worked on such things as hiring many new teachers due to several retiring and the new calendar for the 1985-86 school year to accommodate new state laws and policies. School Board members Jim Odle, Deanna Davis, and Bill Hammer did not run for new terms. Mae Ruggles did run for her third term and was re-elected. DR RONALD PRASCHER: Principal, and Mr Martin Foster; Assistant Principal, worked as a team for the 1984-85 school year. MR BILL WEATHERILL served as Superintendent for the 1984-85 school year. DR. RONALD VAN DONSELAAR served as Assistant Superintendent for the Re-2 J district. BOARD MEMBERS WERE Mae Ruggles; Presi- dent, John Crosthwait, Deanna Davis. Ken Hutchi- son, Don Quinlin, Bill Hammer; Treasurer, and not shown Jim Odle; Vice-President. 39 EVERY YEAR things seem to change. New events, new fash- ions, and new activities. 1984-85 seemed to change dras- tically at BHS for girls. Fashions changed to short pants and lacy socks, with bright color shirts. Boys even seemed to change to the verge of being preppy! Students at BHS seemed to be more involved in local and nation- al news in 1984-85, especially the election between Mr. Bruce Bass and Mr. Don Lindell for county commissioner. Mr. Bass, whose sons Bruce and Wes attend BHS, won the election. Pres. Ronald Reagan and chal- lenger Walter Mondale vied for the presidency. Every student seemed to have his choice and many seniors were even able to vote for the first time. Students this year had many ac- tivities to choose from in and out of school, some enjoyed rodeoing and bike riding, and others just did work around the school — for example, store management. Students Flaunt Fads And Fashion In the spring of 1985, 25 percent of the student body was polled on their favorites in food, fads, and fashion. Professional pollsters have found that polling 10 percent of a populace accurately reflects the atti- tudes of a given group. The journalism staff believes that the following are an accurate reflection of our schools attitudes for 1985.

Burger King Economy Hit Hard As Local Industry Drops It was a year of elections in Brush, starting in November with the election of County Commissioner and City Council Members. Then in April, four of the seven available school board positions elected board members. A Blue Ribben Committee was set up in order to evaluate Central and Thompson Elementary Schools. Since Central is such an old school, they suggested that Thompson hold kindergarden through 5th grades while 6th through 8th be held at the Junior High. The schools would need to be added onto if the Central building is vacated. But the biggest newsmaker of the year was the economy. The beef plant in Fort Morgan laid off many of their employees. Western Foods of Brush shut down after 6 months and Great Western Sugar Factories all over Colorado closed down, leaving many out of work. The downfall of these three major companies led to a big fall in local economy. AFTER 80 YEARS of sugar beet campaigning this GW structure stands aban- doned like many others in Colorado 44 Cheer, Cheer, Cheer For The Home Team 1984 1985 were exciting years in the news media: The 23rd Olympiad, the Presidential Election and Inaugeration, a monkey heart transplanted into a baby and a new formula for Coke. The American flag was flying high during the Summer Olympics in August-from our men’s gymnastic team’s first gold medal, to a 4’9” dynamic 16-year-old. Mary Lou Retton captured the heart of America with her perfect smile and gymnastic routines! Even with the trage- dy of track star Mary Decker and her fall to defeat and the boycott by the Soviets, the Americans still walked away proudly, and won more gold medals than most countries all put together. These athletes gave Americans a new sense of pride and loyality to their country. Two months later that patriotism was still flying with the election of our President. Geraldine Ferraro was the first woman to ever run for the office of Vice-President. Even with that the Democratic party of “Fritz” Mondale-Ferraro couldn’t win against the Republican party of Reagan-Bush, and with a land slide victory. President Reagan was re-elected for a second term. Little Baby Faye captured many hearts, but also caused a big controversy. Baby Faye, newborn of a California couple, was given a baboon heart, to the dismay of animal sympathizers. Although Baby Faye only lived 19 days, she touched many and helped create a break-through in sci- ence. A major formula change occurred after 99 years when in 1985, Coca-Cola changed its formula, making its taste a little sweeter. To summarize, it was a year for new pride, anticipation and history-making! RONALD REAGAN 45 Students Become Active In School Students have many activities in school, other than homework. One is sports, whether it is keeping score for the game, or playing it. The fans are always there through rain, sleet, or snow, cheering their team on. Talking with friends in the commons, hallway, or even in the classroom after school is a good time to catch up with the going on’s of the day. Noon is the time when students can rest and take it easy. Many enjoy a game of hackie sack to pass the time. A new program at school was the Knowledge Bowl, in which students challenge other students from different schools to wee who is the “brainiest” of them all.

GERRARD FLORES maintains the scores for little league basket ball, a city sponsored Saturday event. SPECIAL ASSIGNMENT: Life Goes Beyond School Despite what teachers, parents and some students might think, some high school students have a life full of activities beyond school. On the more serious side, students may pick up a parttime job such as working a Crain’s or devel- oping a hobby. Senior Tim Segelke, for example, has begun to develop his rodeo hobby into an after-graduation profes- sion. Tim has already won numerous awards for his skills and hopes to make money off of it soon. Senior Laurie Carter has also picked up interest in her hobby of bikerid- ing. Throughout the summer she enters competitive races along with marathon-riding fund raisers. Laurie would like to travel the countryside on her bike over the summer if it becomes possible. Life beyond school can also be full of excitement. Some students might take a relaxing ride to the countryside or Rd. T. Others prefer to work out on weights. The school has fine weight equipment which the students have to put to good use. The weight-lifting program is not sponsored by the school, but the students have begun to get very in- volved by entering some competitions. During the summer, along with the hard work and hot days, comes time for recreation softball, swimming, and lazy days at the side of Prewitt Reservoir. So as one can see, along with education, students can be individuals with a life beyond school! This page sponsored by Husky of Brush RICK DILLEHAY and STEVE ALBERT enjoy a relaxing day at Prewitt DAVID ROMERO strains under weights as he works out in the BHS weight room. 53 Work And Leisure Found After School Contrary to unpopular belief, there is life after school. Students find many ways to escape the responsibilities of school. Some escapes may involve working, such as work on farms or at home. Stephanie Griffith’s family runs a dairy five miles outside of Brush. Each member of the family participates, and sometimes extra help is hired. Others in BHS require a little fun in their lives. Many students go out to Prewitt Reservoir and catch some rays and enjoy themselves soon as warm weather arrives each spring. COW MILKING techniques are demonstrated by Laura Bzdek and Stephanie Griffith. THE ART OF leisure outside of school is enjoyed at Prewitt Reservoir by KNEE DEEP IN trouble are Mike Korthuis and Gina Lee. Mike Garcia and Kyle Crosswhite. There are many other athletic activities to participate in other than the ones that are school-sponsored. Laurie Carter rides her bike in competitive races in many towns in Colorado. Laurie likes mostly to ride for enjoyment, though. Slow-pitch softball is for both men and women, and city recreation sponsors both events. The softball teams are divided into two leagues, leisure and competitive. Although many activities stay out of school, these boys wanted to leave their mark in school. An old “beet- digger” was brought to the front of BHS and remained there all spring with no effort to move it. All were reminded of the class of 1985 when they saw this beauti- ful piece of machinery. LOOKING LIKE a serious biker.

They begin on Monday when dur ing first hour algebra, the teacher gives a quiz on something that was talked about last week. How can anyone remember what they learned last week, of all things? If that isn’t enough, on Tuesday the weary student receives last week’s test in Political History, with a “D” on it. Figuring Wednesday will blow over with ease, in junior composi- tion the teacher asks for a compo- sition, which was “supposedly” due today. To end the week on Friday, the biology teacher expects a dis- section of a frog. Not everyone’s school weeks go like this, but many of us feel they do. To offset those killer classes, there are the fun classes. In Family Living, students carry around eggs representing a child. And . . . don’t forget all those times waiting for Foreign Foods, to sam- ple the day’s outcome. When graduating and looking back, one will realize that all those classes played an important part in our process of learning, whether fun, or impossible! Mr. Sumner instructs the art classes at BHS. The classes consist of the beginning students and the advanced. The beginners start out by learning proportions, sketching faces and finally still life. The advanced students work with oils and water colors. The students learn the value of art, including light and color coordination. The highlight of the year is in the spring, when the students use their skills and compete in the High Plains Art Exhibit. The class can be taken all four years at BHS. Art Comes Alive At BHS HARD AT work at the band saw, Lance Crosswhite develops a crafts project. MR SUMNER offers help to Debbie Winkler on her art project. Hard At Work B.H.S. Business Effective with the class of 1985 each student must suc- cessfully complete one year of a business education class of which one semester must be typing. There are many business classes that may be taken at BHS. Consumer business, the basic business class that helps students get acquainted with the free-enterprise system and other money management techniques. In Accounting I and II the students study the accounting cycle units’ simplest form. Then they advance to accounting payroll etc. In BOE (business office education) the students become familiarized with business techniques, and on the job training. In Busi- ness Law, a class for students interested in legal transac- tions, the person learns the rights and obligations of a business person. Marketing and distributive education, a class for students who wish to be orientated in a business career. In these courses the students learn sales, marketing, and management. Last, but not least, but most dreaded by most students of BHS, is typing. In typing students learn basic operation of the typewriter, speed, and the keyboard. TYPING II STUDENT Beki Wacker concentrates on her assignment A CLUSTER of office practice students ponder over another assignment for Typing II. English Helps — Really! Everyone must take English. Wheth- er you’re a freshman in writing skills, a sophomore in speech, a junior in ju- nior composition, or a senior in hu- manities, BHS students find them- selves in an English course. These classes differ in many ways. In Junior Composition, for example, the main purpose is to write themes and term papers. In speech you learn to overcome the fear of speaking in front of people and how to write, pre- sent, and perform a speech. In litera- ture many styles of writing are pre- sented for reading, analysis, and dis- cussion; and contrary to popular be- lief, enjoyment. In humanities students learn to enjoy the arts; and, in writing skills, the teacher tries to pound into students’ heads the techniques used in good writing. It is the desire of the Brush High School English Department that their graduates turn out fairly literate! MISS JOHNSON presents a literature lesson to freshmen MR KROB'S speech class enjoys Interaction with classmates BRYAN SCHOTT renders tales of classroom terror, during speech class. Foreign Languages Growing Important Foreign Language classes grow more and more important, especially since more colleges are requiring two years of them as entrance courses. The two languages offered at BHS are French and Spanish. German was dropped this year. Mrs. Yvette Clays teaches all for- eign languages. She arranges one field- trip with every class per year and tries to arrange a trip to Europe with those students that had a foreign language for two years. Once in a while the foreign language classes have special activities during the class period like playing games in a foreign language, singing foreign songs or eating foreign dishes. Foreign languages are not just im- portant because you learn to talk to foreigners, but also because you hear a lot about other countries and get a view of their daily life, their traditions, history and sites. 61 Seven New Members Join J-Staff Journalism is a class for sophomores, juniors and seniors. It’s a fun class in which students have a lot of freedom, because they work with the teacher, which means they do something and the teacher is there to help them. All students profit from what the J-Staff does, because everybody gets the DIGGER-COUNTRY newspaper and many people buy the SAGEBRUSH yearbook. These are the two things the staff worked on during the year. Everybody on the staff gets a certain responsibility, some people are newspaper or yearbook editors, others are reporters or photographers or work on special assign- ments. In journalism students learn many things real journalists have to do in their job such as news-writing, feature-writing, copy and proof-reading, make up and general newspaper production. Other things done in class are photographic evaluation and layout as well as magazine-style copy writing and construction. Mrs. Amy Ely is the teacher for journalism at BHS. This class really depends a lot upon the support of the students and teachers. To make it a good yearbook, first of all it has to be a “good” year, meaning the student body has to be very active. The “journalists” must be able to take inter- views and pictures, which were both given this year. MRS ELY TRIES to help Bryan Schott get his yearbook pages done before the deadline.

Variety Provided In Math Instruction Math classes are classes everybody has to take, because two years of math are required for graduation. Most people who want to go on to college might have special require- ments and, depending on which major they choose, they might simply be better off with some more math or special math classes. Four different math teachers are at BHS: Miss Sharon Johnson, Mr. Don Gabriel, Mr. George Mussell, and Miss Ann Severin, who took over Larry Giauque’s position be- ginning with the second semester. These teachers teach in three main categories of math: algebra, geometry, and computer math. Some of the ten classes taught at BHS combine two of these categories; for example, math analysis and trigonometry. Others are meant to teach basic math skills, such as “Introduction to Algebra,” Applied Math,” and Basic Math.” A third group are the “average” math classes, such as Algebra 1 and II and geometry. The last group of math classes are the two computer classes, “Computer Math and “Advanced Computer Math.” These classes combine the knowledge one gets in the other math classes and the language of the computer “Basic.” Math courses are required classes and therefore disliked by some students, but they’re necessary and they even can be fun for many students.

One activity was the Brush Birthday Celebration when the band played and presented a banner for the city. Besides their many activities, the band had a very successful year. They traveled to Colorado Springs to compete in the Cavalcade of Music Festival. The band captured top prize in this event in the Class AA division. The band also played many concerts for the public, including a Christmas, winter, and a spring concert. THE BRUSH HIGH SCHOOL Band of 1985 pauses shortly before their final concert. THE BRUSH BAND In action, plays a tune for the city. HERE THE BAND holds up a birthday sign for the city of Brush. The Concert Choir of 1985 performed many times for the public.

At BHS each student is required to complete two semesters of P.E. I. After completing their two semesters of P.E. I each student has a choice to enroll in a fun, specialized physical education class. The extra classes offered are P.E. II and physical fitness. P.E. II class, an ad- vanced P.E. for juniors and seniors, is combined with the P.E. I sections. One of the highlights of the year was the square dance section when students danced to the callinger Dean Christensen. Physical Fitness is another choice for advanced P.E. students. Each student keeps in physical shape by lifting weights and running once every week. For an extra activity on Fridays, a free day is offere so each student may work with what ever activity he she wants. DAVID ZUB1ATE dribbles the basketball. CINDY ADAMS AND BARB DELAFUENTE swing their partners during a unit in square dancing in P.E. class. LAB WORK HIGHLIGHTS SCIENCES Several classes make up the BHS science department. These classes are taught by Mr. Don Gabriel, Mr. Joe Edson, and Ms. Colleen Sullivan. The science classes of- fered in the BHS curriculum are physical science, biology, chemistry, physics. Program Biology, and independent sci- ence projects. Students enrolled in Program Biology and independent science projects work on an individual basis. Program biol- ogy is taught by Mr. Edson. It is designed to extend the student’s knowledge of biology. The science project class is taught by Mr. Gabriel. Each student performs a long-term scientific experiment and prepares an exhibit for the sci- ence fair in the spring. He she also presents a speech about the project to the Jr. Academy of Science. Physical science and basic physical science are general science classes for freshmen and sophomores. They are designed to give students a basic knowledge of science and prepare them for more advanced studies of science. Basic physical science is designed for the slower student. It teach- es the same concepts as physical science only on a lower level. Biology is taught by Mr. Edson. According to several students, this class is the most dreaded class in the curricu- lum. Biology, the study of life science, includes the study of LEISA MCCAULEY observes as Missy Shurigar and Kellie Grippen study a lab procedure MR GABRIEL assists Lisa Woodward in a physics lab. the animal, plant, protist, and unicellular kingdoms. Stu- dents are exposed to the physical and chemical make-up of these kingdoms. Dissecting is the major event of the year. This allows students to isolate various parts of the body and understand its uses. Chemistry, a branch of physical science, is offered to juniors and seniors. Chemistry stresses the chemical prop- erties of objects. The class deals with the elements, com- pounds, and combinations of them. Students learn to deter- mine the composition, physical appearances, and proper- ties of various elements and compounds. Lab and experi- ments are the major parts of this class. Physics is the most advanced science class offered at BHS. Physics is an advancement of physical science. The objective is to develop concepts and the scientific method by use of the “energy” concept to tie the branches of physics together. Some of the studies include matter and energy, force and motion, sound, wave motion, light, alter- nating and direct current electricity, and electronics. Physics and chemistry are weighted classes at BHS. That is, an A receives five points, B-four points, C-three, and a D- two. Students at BHS must complete two semesters of any of the above science classes to graduate. Social Studies Is No Horror Social Studies is an ordeal that all must go through to graduate from Brush High School. The seniors may face sociology, juniors endure U.S. History and freshmen en- counter civics. If all of this sounds like a horror classic that you find on Elvira’s Movie Macabre, you’re wrong; it’s Social Studies, a necessary part of secondary education. Sociology is the study of other cultures and peoples. U.S. History is this country’s heritage and history, and Civics is basically the study of government, like the election process. But what about the Sophomores, you may ask? They got a break (providing they took civics) from this process for a year. So don’t pass judgement on social studies by saying: ‘YECHHH! Who needs it?” before experiencing it. One just might learn something. Rattlesnake” tells tales of mountain hardship. While the rest of Current Issues class watches attentively, Daryl Patten snores. Mr Mills comtemplates nominating this current issues film for the Acade- my Awards. 68 Special Classes Aid People With Special Needs Brush High School offers a variety of forms of special education to BHS students. The classes are designed to help the students who have learning disabilities and are unable to perform all the skills introduced in the regular BHS curriculum. The Individualized Education Program class is offered to students in grades 9 through 12. IEP is taken two periods a day and may be taken for more than one year. This course is for students with learning problems who can’t get the necessary help from the classroom program regularly pro- vided. These students posses the ability to learn, but need a more individualized, vocationally oriented approach. Stu- dents who enter this program have undergone extensive pre-testing. Perception and communication, known as PC, is also offered to students in grades 9 through 12. This class is designed to meet the individual needs of each student who has an indetified perceptual and or communicative prob- lem. These students also have undergone extensive pre- testing and conferences before being admitted to this pro- gram of special learning. Students who are slower than average students may take the same classes as their peers but attend tutorial classes which give them individual, added assistance on the subject. Although this class can be taken with a regular class, a student may substitute this for the required course. Tutorial students receive one unit of credit per semester and may take the class more than one year to help complete gradu- ation requirements. The final special education class in the BHS curriculum is the work study program. It is offered to junior and senior students. This course is designed to give the student a basic understanding of the world of work. It involves study of how to choose the best job, applying for jobs, employer and employee relations, progressing on the job, and under- standing oneself. The last half of the consumer problems are studied including managing money, taxes, credit and banking services. Students enrolled in the work study pro- gram may take up to two periods a day to work on an approved job. Donn Bass takes a moment away from his studies. Allen Rocha pauses from his studies as Steve Bruning works diligently. 69 MCC Classes Provide Opportunities For BHS Students Morgan Community College in Fort Morgan offers three hour classes for those students interested in health, auto body, or electronic-related classes. This year six BHS studens participated in the MCC classes. Beth Chapman, Chris Ward, Pam Brummett and Noretta Rasmussen were enrolled in the Allied Health pro- gram. This course prepares students for job-entry skills into one of several health occupations. During their first semster the girls received instruction and laboratory training in basic concepts and skills of their chosen occupational option. Second semester, the girls were placed in a non-pay, cooperative-work experience location, They were in class two days a week and were on the job three days per week. Beth, Chris, Pam, and Noretta all worked at the East Morgan County Hospital. Chris and Pam worked in the obstetrics ward as nurses aides, Beth worked as a surgical tech aide, and Noretta worked as a lab assistant aide. Noretta served as this year’s state parliamentarian in Health Occupation Students of America (HOSA). There were four local officers: Chirs, treasurer, Pam secretary; Beth, historian, Noretta, publicity. Other officers attend Fort Morgan H.S. Gilbert Garcia and Brad Baum both enrolled in the Elec- tronics course. This course prepares students for job-entry skills into the electronics maintenance and service-job clus- ter. They studied concept and theory of electronics and spent time in lab concentrating on their projects. First year students studied about A.C. and A.D. circuits and other basic. Second year students moved to have more difficult studies such as micro-processing. The MCC classes are worth 6 credits and a BHS student must be a junior or senior to enroll in them.

In Vo Ag I the students learn the basic skills in agriculture. About one-half of the time is spent in the classroom and the other half is spent in the shop using the skills they have learned. The Vo Ag II students each have their own project to work on during classtime. On these projects they use the skills they have learned in both Vo Ag I and II. On alternate years Vo Ag III and IV are taught. This year Ag III was taught to any previous Ag II member. About eighty percent of their two-period claws time is spent in the shop working on a project of their choice. In Auto Mechanics I, the enrolled students are taught the basic knowledge of all working parts of the automobile and how they function. The Auto Mechanics II class is handled like a regular auto repair shop. Each day the students may work on whatever comes to the shop. Jo Height, class of '84 and Mr. Me Reynolds, past auto-me- chanics teacher, present Dr. Ronald Prascher and BHS with her national auto mechanics trophy Bill Clem helps another Vo Ag III member with his project. Mr Annan instructs Vo Ag I members Brent Davis and Laura Hoder on how to use the shop tools. 71 Learning, doing go hand in hand For six years Mrs. Thruston has been teaching Home Economics. These classes range from Clothing 1, traditionally for underclassmen, to Family Living for seniors Mrs. Thurston believes that doing and learning go hand in hand when it comes to cooking. Students really enjoy learning about new foods and how to prepare them in Foods for Entertaining, along with decorating cakes. Family Living gives one the responsibility of being a parent for a week. Students get to carry around an egg as their child. They learn the responsibility of something very important, along with meeting a senior social studies requirement. Another favorite class for juniors and seniors is single survival. In this class they learn how to manage money, purchasing goods and services, planning and obtaining a house and planning leisure time. Single survival is a sum of all the Home Economics classes put together. PAM HEADLYS BABY egg for Family Living Class models Its new blanket. TORY SUMNER cooks a feast in Cooking I.

Drafting consists of two one semester courses. Drafting I students learn sketching, lettering, dimensioning and orthgizaptic projections. Drafting II students study sec- tions, auxiliaries, isometrics and architectual drawings. After completing the first year, the students may continue their exploration of drafting on an individual basis. Woods is designed to challenge each student’s level of experience. First year students learn the basic understand- ing of wood working, like making paper-towel holders, dishtowel holders, etc. Second year students are intro- duced to wood turning procedures, like rolling pins, bowls and lamps. Third year students’ projects are structured around lamination, including shoe horns, fishnet frames, etc. The advanced students going in to their fourth year structure projects around cabinet-making and furniture making, etc. Regardless of the level of experience of each student, there is an emphasis on safety, developing the skills needed to use the tools and machines safely. JEFF MORELAND AND BILL ROBINSON study directions before start ing their woods project. Woods And Drafting Classes At BHS NEAL WOLFE, a drafting student, works on his individual project. IAN JOUETT AND SHAWN BAKER inspect the drafting tools before using them BREAKING THE MONOTONY OF SCHOOL is a high interest of students in BHS. With sports and clubs the students compete, exer- cise, and have fun to work their way into a mind and soul relax- ation. The 1984-1985 sports year had its share of exciting moments. The BHS football team won an- other state title, beating Gunnison 53-20. The basketball teams did well, also. For the boys it was beating Yuma, in their first meeting, to take over the league first place position. For the girls it was com- ing close to winning their games with University. With a new year there came a new organization: Students Against Driving Drunk (SADD). This organization tried to get the students to confide in their par- ents about their drinking, by send- ing home contracts stating they would not drive if they had been drinking. Student Council worked on keeping the school clean and hav- ing more dances for the students. All these activities kept the stu- dents involved in the school hap- penings. B-Club Activates Another Year President Ian Jouett, Vice-President Mitch Mullen and Secretary Treasurer Laura Bzdek led B-Club members through another active year. This year B-Club took part in selling bumper stickers and volleyball football raffle tickets as their fundraisers. Activities were an end-of-the-year pizza party and traveling to Denver to a Denver Gold football game. They also took part in homecoming festivities. Young members were a majority of B-Club which will lead the club on to another successful year! B-CLUB OFFICERS and sponsors Miss Liz Bitzer, sponsor; Laura Bzdek, secretary-treasurer; Ian Jouett.

Alison Smith and Sheila Hammer Cheerleaders Forced To Make Changes Along with the new year came a lot of new rules for the BHS cheerleaders. The yearly dance routines put on by each cheerleading squad were banned because pre- vious routines put on were said to be “too suggestive. Also pyramid building was something used a lot by most squads; it was not to be used a lot by the BHS cheer- leaders. This left cheerleading to be just “everyday clapping and chanting. This soon became dull to the cheerleaders and their crowds. Cheerleading was not all that the squads did. Fundraising was a big thing for them. Maroon and gold BHS mittens, stocking hats and leg warmers were sold at local football games. Bake sales were also put on at volleyball games which drew big crowds to the sales. The yearly mums sold for home- coming brought in a lot of profit. Calendars were also sold which benefitted the cheerleaders as they received prizes for the amount sold. Cheerleading is an activity which brings spirit to school sports activities and these cheerleaders should have pep and vitality toward cheering. Those trying out have gone down in numbers which limits the squads, but spirit has still been brought on by them in BHS.

There were 17 senior members and 17 junior members. Most DECA activities took place in the D.E. I and II classes. This year 7 students qualified for state competition at the Broadmoor in Colorado Springs: Kari Chartier, Felicia Acosta, Paul Koll, Shelley McGaughey, Terri Roth, Deb Gish and Gary Shaklee. As fundraisers both classes sold magazines and emblemized BHS shirts. Their activities included visiting Brighton’s DECA store and a spaghetti party put on by sponsor Ken Kreutzer. A special activity was a non profit Tiny Tot Christmas Shop put on as a business- learning experience for members.

The play shown was “The Music Man”, a musical by Meredith Wil- son. According to the members it was very good. Besides seeing a play, the Drama Club put on a few plays of their own for the school. The fall play was called “Done To Death.” The spring play was named “Tell It To Ethel.” Both plays seemed to show off the many great talents of the Drama Club members. The 1984 - 85 Drama Club members were led by Co - Presidents. They were Lisa Woodward and David VanAus- dall. The business manager was Andy Tisdale. The spon- sors were Mr. Greg Krob and Miss Sharon Johnson. THE DRAMA CLUB MEMBERS are pictured during a break at the Country Dinner Playhouse. They are: first row - B.J.

The 50 members started the year out with a traditional banana-split party. In October they had a fund-raiser which was very suc- cessful. Later in the month they had a pizza party and went roller skating. The entire group attended the District Con- vention in Sterling, and was the biggest school there. During November they cooked dinner at Sunset when they dined and danced with the nursing home residents. In February some of the members went to the state convention in Colorado Springs. As the month ended, Mrs. Thruston (Supervisor of FHA) had a video party at her house. They ended the year by having a barbecue and a scaven- ger hunt in May.

Ten percent of the freshmen and five percent of the sophomores are admitted to Junior Honor Society each year. Ten percent of the juniors and five percent of the seniors are admitted to Senior Honor Society. All candidates must have at least a 3.0 grade point average and exhibit outstanding leadership, citizenship, character, and service. The Brush Chapter of National Honor Society was sponsored by Dr. Ronald Prascher and Mr. Larry Giauque. The club was headed by Missy Shurigar who was assisted by Leisa McCauley, her vice-president. Ann Hutchison served as secretary. A spaghetti party was held at Mr. Giauque's home in November. The club went on a field trip this year to the State Capitol building and Ball Aerospace in Denver. At the Capitol students met and talked with State Representatives and Congressmen. Ball Aerospace was an exciting experience, as they manufacture a lot of space equipment. NHS took a tour of the building and watched a film on products made by Ball Companies. The club wrapped up the year with a hamburger cook-out at Dr. Prascher’s home. Following the cook-out, they watched a movie. The Annual Awards Banquet was held in May. New members took an oath to uphold the high standards set by Honor Society. The officers installed the new officers in a candlelight ceremony. Seniors received their tassles for graduation. The Brush Chapter of Honor Society was busy this year and experienced two new sponsors. The field trip was a new experience, since Honor Society hadn’t done this before. SR.

Active M-S Members Enjoy Full Year The Brush Math and Science Club was headed by Leisa McCauley who was assisted by Lisa Woodward. The Club sold concessions at the basketball games and wrestling matches and held cake raffles throughout the year to raise money. Some of this money was used to restore old trophies which were donated to the Bi-County Science Fair. To promote science fairs, the club gave money to state and international participants to help with the costs of exhibiting their projects. Besides giving their money away to others, they spent some of their money on theirselves. The club spent a day in Denver touring the Museum of Natural History, 1MAX theater, and Gates Planetarium. At the Museum, the club learned how exhibits were made and where many of the animals and plants came from. Each scene was hand-constructed to make it as close to the original scene as possible. After they had toured the museum, they went to IMAX, a four and one-half story high theater screen. Here they saw “Genesis and “Ocean. “Genesis” is the story of the creation of the earth. “Ocean is the story of life under the sea. The final attraction was a visit to the Gates Planetarium. The club saw a shocking demonstration on lightning. The owners showed the dangers and characteristics of lightning. MATH AND SCIENCE CLUB members: (Front) Nancy Stadler. Laura McCauley.

Shawna Larsen was the vice- president, Mitch Mullen was treasurer, and Patricia Giau- gue was the secretary. The club was sponsored by Mr. Don Dillehay and Mrs. Claire Lynch. They are both teachers at the Brush High School. The 1984 - 85 Student Council sponsored many activi- ties at BHS. The council started off by having noontime activities during homecoming week. As usual, the club held many dances for the students of BHS in the commons. The only thing different was, instead of bands the Student Coun- cil hired light and sound companies to provide the music. This added a little more excitement and better and more popular music at the dances. Cookie breaks were also held in the commons during school hours on certain holidays. One of the most useful products of Student Council was the students’ phone in the commons. It is toll-free but has one rule: No call longer than three minutes. They also held a chess tournament for students interested. Many members attended workshops in various places to learn better ways to lead the student body. They attended meetings in Fort Collins, Fort Morgan, and Greeley. About every month, Laurie Carter attended the League’s student council meetings in Greeley, also.

Once again the BHS gridders took the Northern Plains League Championship. Led by Head Coach Larry Mills, the team had a successful season, despite the fact that at the beginning of the year there were major setbacks due to penalties. The only loss for the ’Diggers successful season was the loss of an all-state linebacker, Rick Dillehay. Dillehay was taken off the field during the homecoming game against the Eaton Reds with a knee injury. He underwent four and one- half hours of surgery to repair the knee which then side- lined him for the season. Quarterback, Mike Wahlert, placed tenth in the state in passing and receivers Barry Quinlin and Neal Wolfe placed eighth and twenty-fifth respectively, in regular season to- tals. 1984 J.V TEAM: Top Row; V.

Not only did the team have the best coach and the best crowds available in Colorado, but they had that inner strength, something within themselves, that extra drive that proved they could live up to their predecessors. Led by a pack of hungry seniors and one strong-armed sophomore quarterback, the 'Diggers took on the state. On that nippy day in November with a full capacity crowd behind them, three very special cheerleaders cheered from the sideline: “Mr. Energy Booster” himself, Rick Dillehay (who hadn’t played since being injured in the annual Homecoming game) and assistants, Steve Coughlin (who tore ankle ligaments during the Roaring Fork game) and Brad Wind (who also pulled shoulder ligaments during the semi-final game). Even without these valuable starters, the 'Diggers shot down the Gunnison Cowboys’ defense and their pride, winning with the score of 53-20. Defensively they had 62 yard per game on the ground and 84 yards per game in the air; offensively they were just as efficient, but in the other direction. They averaged 236 yards on the ground for 13 games, for 3,069 yards on 568 plays for 5.4 yards per play. In the air the offense managed an average of 100 yards per game for 1,289 yards passing on the season, and 10 touchdowns, with the overall average of 33 points a game. On the other hand, the 'Diggers allowed opponents just 7.5 points per game. Not only did the team work great together but also as indivi- duals. Neal Wolfe led in tackles with 70 and 37 assists. Barry Quinlin led in rushing with 1,184 yards on 183 carries for a 6.4 yard average. In the state game Barry carried the ball 30 times for 206 yards and five touchdowns. Defensively Barry compiled 50 unassisted tackles and 22 assisted in his linebacker position. Jeff Bohling came up with 17 tackles and 8 assists, 1 fumble recovery and 5 spectacular interceptions. Brad Wind claimed 23 tackles 20 assists, and 7 quarterback sacks in his defensive end position. And if those player statistics aren’t unbelievable enough, the man behind it all, Coach Larry Mills, compiled some statistics of his own, his eight-year record stands at 68-23 with the record of 16-3 in the playoffs. Named to the prestigious Colorado Sidelines football team were First Team Offense- Barry Quinlin and Todd Miller. First Team Defense were Brad Wind, Neal Wolfe, Rick Dillehay; the Second Team Offense was Mike Garcia. Second Team Defense was Jeff Bohling. The Colorado Sidelines picked Barry Quinlin as back of the year and player of the year, and Larry Mills was chosen as Coach of the Year. Chosen for the all-state football team by the Rocky Mountain News was Brad Wind; Honorable- mention was awarded to Jeff Bohling, Mike Garcia, and Chris Mares. Selected by the Denver Post was Neal Wolfe, Rick Dille- hay, and Jeff Bohling. Barry Quinlin was chosen by both papers. For a second time, Larry Miles was named Coach of the Year, this year by the Denver Post. He and the players themselves that broke these records and challenged others made Brush football number one in '841! m3 THE POWERFUL silhouette ol Coach Larry Mills rises above his victorious team.

Taking third in the league by losses to just the state champions and runner-up team, for a record of 12-4, the Digger’s season ended with the team placing third in the sub-district tournament which held them back from districts to quality for state. Losing to the eventual runner-up Eaton team and state champion Platte Valley team early in the season, the Diggers were ready to come back and win. Meeting up with Eaton the Diggers defeated them in 3 games which gave them a chance to be co-champions of the league with Eaton. Brush and Platte Valley’s second match-up would determine this. The Diggers lost to the Broncos, placing them third in the league. With all the slates clean, the 8 Northeastern League teams partici- pated in the sub-district tournament. The Diggers’ first match-up was the Windsor Wizards, whom they defeat- ed, advancing them on to play Eaton. Losing to the Reds didn’t lower the momentum of the Digger netters as they came back and defeated University and Windsor. The Diggers met Eaton for the second time in the tourna- ment for the semifinal match. In a tough two games the Diggers lost to the Reds, leaving them with third place and ending a memorable season for the Diggers.

The Varsity girls basketball team was once again coached by Bob Bever. Injuries and flu marked the girls’ losing season. The Diggers’ conference record was 4-10. They headed into sub districts matched up with the 3rd ranked team, the University Bulldogs. The Bulldogs, ended it for the Diggers, making their sub-district record 0-1, and went to be the State Runners-Up. The team’s field goal percentage was 35.1. Their free-throw percentage was alittle higher at 40.5. Jamie Crall ranked first on the team in both those areas, along with the highest number of blocked shots. Laura Bzdek led the Diggers in steals, while Maren Bostrom led in rebounding. High assist also was led by Maren Bostrom. Laura Bzdek had the most total points in the games throughout the season. Bzdek also had the highest point average. VARSITY TEAM: (Front row): Leslie Tormohlen, Kristie Mason; Middle row. Maren Bostrom, Kim Albert.

Never before has a team come back from a losing deficit the previous year and taken the league by storm like the Brush Beetdiggers ‘84-85 season basketball team. Even though they suited only two returning lettermen the Dig- gers shot off from the starting blocks before the word go was uttered. In the season opener, playing without returning letter- man Steve Couglin who was down with a football injury, the cagers came within five points of the Weld Central Rebels who were seated second in the state. Not only did they show their strength and determination, but highlights of things to come. Who would’ve thought that a few weeks down the road Senior Bob Held would have the crowd up on their feet when he gracecully jammed a basket against the Eaton Reds? That was only the begin- ning; the Diggers talent and winning attitude took them all the way to the district quarter-finals held at the University of Northern Colorado gym in Greeley against the Yuma Indians where they lost in an overtime upset with the score of 34-36. Although this ended their hope of gaining a state title, the Diggers proved themselves to be true champions in their graceful acceptance of defeat.

Working hard on perfecting the wing roll or the cross body ride caused the wrestlers to really work up a sweat. But the efforts paid off when they reversed their opponents, aiding the team in a victory. Rolling over team after team, the wrestlers were headed for a successful season. February 9 was an eventful evening for the wrestlers. The wrestlers honored their parents with Parents Night. The JV’s ended their season with a win over the Roosevelt Roughriders, but varsity fell short of winning the league championship by losing to the Roughriders. Districts, February 15 and 16 in Eaton, the Roughriders, for a second time took first away from the Diggers, but Brush came away with three state qualifiers: Wes Bass, 98 lbs, placed 2nd; Bruce Bass, 105 lbs placed 1st; and Barry Quinlin, hwt. placed 1st. Diggers also had several place 3rd and 4th: Greg Moser, 112 lbs placed 3rd; Gerrard Flores, 119 lbs placed 4th; Matt Woodward, 132 lbs. placed 4th; Kent Trimbach, 138 lbs. placed 3rd; Billy Clem, 145 lbs. placed 2nd (defeated on wrestle back); Brooks Massey, 155 lbs. placed 3rd; Ian Jouet, 167 lbs. placed 3rd; and Bob Borchert, 185 lbs. placed 3rd. The State Tourney was held in Denver February 21-23, with Wess and Bruce Bass being elimanated in their first two matches. Barry Quinlin pinned his first two opponents in less then 30 seconds each. Meeting Arnie Alvarado of Berthoud in the Semi- Finals, Barry won by a decision of 14-6. Saturday evening in the heavy weight class, Barry pinned Jarod Nelson of Ft. Lupton in 33 seconds to become the State Champion! Wrestlers received letters and pins march 4 at the Wrestling Awards Night for their hard work and dedication. BRUCE BASS.

Baseball Wins Out Over ‘Foul’ Weather, A Few ‘Strikes’ The first day of baseball practice was February 27, with close to 30 guys going out. The team was young, with over half the players being freshmen and sopho- mores. Mid-season the morale of the team fell when seven guys quit and two were dismissed for breaking training. Yet, the varsity continued to win several games in a row against such teams as Wiggins and Yuma. The weather was a big factor in their playing and the crowd’s enthusiasm. The weather varied from 85 degrees one week to a cold and windy day, in which snowflurries bombarded the field and fans and players battled the elements in a Saturday doubleheader-the doubleheader — the second game lasting 11 innings. This was only the second year for baseball after many years without at Brush. With a new baseball complex and uniforms, the sport was set. Enthusiastic crowds were out cheering the team on, letting it know they were supporting them. SECOND BASEMAN DAVID LOOSE Follows through on a swing before advancing to first.

Girls Small But Seasoned Coach Terry McGee made his debut as first year head track coach in Brush. Coach Liz Bitzer assisted him, making track her third coaching season, in- cluding previous basketball and volley- ball seasons. Managers for this year’s team were sophomores Kathy Kincaid and Tonya Markham. There were 21 girls who participated in track. The girls had an all-around strong team, with at least one girl in each event. Although the girls were small in size, they outnumbered the boys’ team.

With six guys leading BHS, they got off to a good start. Although the team started out with larger numbers, discipline problems and the competition with the popular sport baseball, lowered the number to the few which held it together. With the help from the new coach, Mr. McGee, the boy tracksters were strong in their individual events, although the few on the team kept them from accumulating a lot of team points. These are the individual events the boys took part in: Chris Marez, sprints and long jump; Ian Jouett, 100,200 and 400 meter sprints; Bruce Bass, pole vault; Kent Trimbach, high jump; Wes Bass, pole vault; Bob Borchert, shot and disc; Mike Garcia, shot and disc; and Jason Stadler, mile runs. With each member working hard. Brush held strong against the tough Northern Plains League. 12S KENT TRIMBACH has a good form to make a good jump.

Twelve competitors left Friday morn- ing at 11 a.m. Although the tracksters had a good time, the trip didn’t go as planned. On the way up, their subur- ban died and some of the athletes had to wait for another car to come get them The other half continued on in a station wagon because they had to compete early. Finally a mechanic got another station wagon for the rest of them. The twelve qualifiers were Bob Bor- chert, Maren Bostrom, Laura Bzdek, Sandy Caughlan, Sarah Ely, Mike Gar- cia, Ian Jouett, Dana Moser, Nancy Stadler, Leslie Tormohlen, Michelle White, and Lisa Woodward. Maren placed third in the 300 meter hurdles and seventh in 100 meter hurdles. Ian Jouett placed third in the 100 meter and fifth in the 200 meter dash. The all-conference athletes for 1984-85 track were Maren Bostrom, Ian Jouett, Dana Moser, and Leslie Tormohlen. These people all took first place at the district track meet in Windsor, Colorado, on the windy day of May 11. TO QUALIFY FOR the state meet, an athlete had to place first, second . or third at Districts There were twelve beetdiggers to do this at Windsor The qualifiers were: (Front) Ian Jouett- 100 meter and 200 meter dashes; Bob Bor chert-shot put; Mike Garcia-shot put; (Back) Maren Bostrom-100 meter and 300 meter hur- dles; Michelle White-800 meter and 1600 meter relay; Laura Bzdek-1600 meter relay; Sarah Ely-discus; Sandy Caughlan-shot put; Leslie Tor mohlen-high jump; triple jump, and 1600 meter relay; Nancy Stadler-1600 meter relay: Dana Moser-3200 meter run. 127 WHO CAN FORGET THE SPE- CIAL EVENTS, that happened throughout the 1984-85 year? For seniors, graduation and receiving a scholarships will be in their minds forever, plus remembering the things they worked so hard to achieve their four years in BHS. Juniors who attended a junior work- shop and their first prom remember the good times they had and the hard work it took them to go to the workshops around Colorado. Fall and spring banquets and even honors convocation gave sophomores the recognition that they deserved. As for the freshmen, they basically learned the ropes, attending homecom- ing and working on science fair pro- jects. Participating in these special events, the freshmen learned skills and their excitement for high school will fol- low them throughout their BHS years, years. Without these events, school at BHS wouldn’t have nearly as much excite- ment or pizazz. For those participating in special events, their value and memories will be there forever. iiiimill ii mi mi lli.lli.ll m !ISill!!!S II..II..H ....... II.iIImII Recorded Live . . .

From The Science Fair Several students at BHS participated in the school, re- gional, and state science fairs. Each student performed a long-term science project, analyzed the results, and dis- played the project at the science fair.

Nadine, her oldest daughter, was inclined to follow in her footsteps, and divid- ed her attention between the wealthy Sherman Galbraith and Dale Starke, a young mechanic. Patsy, her less-glamor- ous sister, unable to compete successfully with her, wrote to Ethel Heartsease, editor of the love-lorn column in the local newspaper, for advice. Ethel had supposedly saved many homes from going on the rocks through her printed advice, and everybody is talking about her, although no one knew her personality. Patsy is so delighted with her re- sponse that she and Sandy decided to write Ethel about their mother and father, not knowing that Mrs. Adams herself was doing the same thing from a different point of view. Mrs. Adams resented Alberta, Mr. Adams’ spinster sister, who had lived with the family ever since she came to the city to accept a job as secretary in one of the big department stores. There was something mysterious about this job because Alberta had discouraged the family from trying to see or call her when she was supposed to be at work. But Alberta too had her problems. She had been in love for years with the bashful Professor Hancock who returns her affection but had never had the courage to propose. So the professor also wrote to Ethel for advise. When the answers to all these questions begin to arrive, things start happening in a big way, and many were the complications that arise, until everyone concerned with Ethel would have liked to go after her with a shotgun! This even applied to Sissy Davis, the colored maid, who had been suspicious of her husband’s actions and almost killed him as the result of Ethel’s advice, only to find that he was perfectly innocent of any philandering. The high point of the story comes when Ethel made her first radio broadcast, and the family was horrified to recognize her voice as the voice of the spinster, Alberta! This upset the family and everyone couldn’t wait for her to return home that evening to give her a piece of their minds. Mrs. Adams threated to throw her out of the house immediately. Professor Hancock feels embarrassed when he finds out that Alberta was Ethel Heartsease because he had written to her about how he felt about Alberta. Patsy gave up her romance with Dale Starke after Ethel’s advice and Nadine decided that Dale was the one that she actually loved. She told Dale that she would marry him and gave up Sherman to Patsy. When Alberta returned home that evening, she was greeted with a very unhappy family and a very embar- rassed Professor. Among the confusion and accusations, Alberta admitted that she was private about her work because she worked under an assumed name-her mother’s- not Ethel Heartsease. She isn’t Ethel Heartsease after all. But the family does realize that Ethel’s advice was for the best. Ruth decided to be a better mother and Frank buys Sandy his coronet and Patsy her new dress, planning to be a better father. How do you do. Professor Hancock?” asks Dale Starke (B.J.

Also joining them is Laura Bzdek as vice-president. She served as secretary two years ago as a sophomore. John Gunnon will be serving as secretary during his sophomore year. Others running for offices included: Tracy Wagers and Brenda VanDonselaar, secretary; Ann Hutchison, treasur- er; Rick Tormohlen and Elizabeth Weatherill, president - vice-president. Each candidate presented a skit and a speech for the student body on April 24. This year’s skits were mostly take-offs of T.V. commercials and movies. The winning candidates’ skits included: John Gunnon’s skit portraying “Indiana John” in a take-off of the hero Indiana Jones from Indiana Jones: The Temple of Doom; Patricia Giauque’s skit portraying the game show Wheel of Fortune with the winning phrase being “Patricia For Trea- surer”; Laura Bzdek’s skit portraying the movie Star Wars with Laura being the force conquering the “dark side”; and Mitch Mullen’s skit portraying the popular Light Beer com- mercial. A group of “beach bums” sitting around in their lawn chairs argued about “what they liked about Mitch better.” Some students said that the success of the better skits was the “paved path” for election winners.

Clubs hold banquets, cook-outs, and pizza parties in honor of a successful year. It’s a time of remem- berance of events that will never come again. Most ban- quets honor many outstanding students and say a solemn goodbye to departing seniors. Awards are almost always presented and the highlight of the night is always chow time”, not because the end of the banquet is near, but the fact that there’s always mom’s good homecooking or the local Pizza Hut’s best. DR PRASCHER observes Mrs Holzworth’s skill in balancing her plate Banquets are simply a time of fun and the ones that have been attended by everyone are surely great memories of DANETTE KRAL and her mom enjoy the food at FBLA's annual banquet school life.

Highlighting the theme the juniors decorated for the evening with pink and purple streamers, three pink star-covered archways, and a mina- ture city. At 10 p.m. the Grand March was held, couples gathered in a semi-circle, proceeding forward and announc- ing himself herself and their date. Immediately following was coronation, with Bob Bever announcing the Jr. and Sr. attendants. This year was the first year in which juniors nominated six guys and girls for royalty and seniors nomin- ated six guys and girls also. The top six couples for both classes, were then voted on by both juniors and seniors with the top three winning the nomination. The Jr. attendants were announced as Laura Bzdek, Gerrard Flores, Tammy Hernandez, Mitch Mullen, Kristin Mortensen and Gary Shaklee. Sr. attendants were Kari Chartier, Jeff Bohling, Amy Morhlang and Neal Wolfe. At that time Rick Tormoh- len, President of the juniors class, recognized all the spon- sors and thanked them for all their help. He then crowned Brad Wind as king and Kim Albert as queen. All the girls received a pink rose, and everyone received a certificate recognizing them as royalty. With that, Colorado Sound and Light began the royalty dance. Close to 84 couples, a few stags and several chaperones turned out for the even- ing. THE ROYALTY FOR the evening was queen Kim Albert and king Brad Wind. LAURA BZDEK, PATTY Daugherty and Miss Ann THE SENIOR ATTENDANTS were announced as Neal Wolfe, Amy Morhlang, Kari Chartier Severin aided in decorating by stringing stars across and Bohling. the commons. 44 JUNIOR ATTENDANTS WERE announced as Laura Bzdek, Tammy Hernandez.

While millions of memories danced in each senior’s head, they walked down to the BHS stadium. It was then that they heard the song that signified the graduating walk, played by the BHS band. Everything seemed to stop at that time. The seniors listened to Reverend Glenn Lawrence give the invocation. Assistant Principal Martin Foster intro- duced the three speakers Laurie Carter, Marcia Christensen, and Lisa Woodward. Then each senior watched one another receive a diploma — the people they had spent 12 years grow- ing up with. Before they knew it, the time to change their tassels to the right side had come. Brad Wind, being the class of ’85’s president, stood in front of the extra chair set out for deceased Senior Tracy Allison Blake. He then present- ed the memorial plaque in honor of Tracy, to be hung in the commons of Brush High School. He then took a hold of his tassel, as every senior did The caps were thrown, the band began to play again, and each smiling senior filed out, memories still flying around in their heads and at the same time, they began to see the future in a new way. 148 MANY STUDENTS LOOK out this window hoping to get out as soon as possible, but Tim Segelke looks out and wonders how well he'll do when he is on the other side, looking in.

It also gives the jour- nalism staff a chance to discover what all is involved in convincing someone to buy an ad. We would like to thank everyone who bought an ad of some sort. We would also ask that BHS students rec- ognize the businesses which purchased ads by doing business at their stores. Because of ad income we receive, we are able to keep the cost of our yearbooks and activities pages at a minimum. We greatly appreciate the businesses’ participation.

K-1HJL FM107 AS WE CLOSE the doors on the 1984-85 school year, we take time to reflect on the total picture of our days in BHS. With news personalities, we re- viewed each class as it was. With com- mentary, we investigated the everyday occurrences surrounding our lives, es- pecially out of school. Our regulary scheduled broadcast recorded our classroom memories. A look at the extra-curricular activities that break the monotony of our regular days was recorded in entertainment extra and special events segments. Finally, financial backing, which gave us a chance to present this broad- cast to you and your friends, was pro- vided in our station break, “And Now A Word From Our Sponsors.” It is of the hope of the production staff that the contents of this program will provide lasting memories to cher- ish, as you close the door behind your year at BHS.
